TIP:If you have itty bitty holes from your ruffle stitch,lightly spray the fabric with waterand let it air dry.VOILA!Teensy holes are gone.

STEP SIXIf you don't want your headband to be interchangeable,then mark on your headband where you want your ruffle to sit.I usually put it about 2" front the bottom of the headband.Then glue the ruffle in place.

If you want your headband to be interchangeable,then skip STEP SIX and proceed to STEP SEVEN.

STEP SEVENTake your headband and use it as a spacing guide.Lay your second piece of felt on top of ruffled feltand glue down ONE EDGE of the felt.

STEP EIGHTUse you headband as a spacing guide againand glue down the other edge - leaving a tunnel down the middle.Be careful not to let the glue seep into the middle.Keep your line of glue pretty close to the edge.You can also use a pencil, dowel, or pen as the spacing guideto avoid getting glue on your headband accidentally.

You should have an open little tunnel,the right size for your headband.

So cute! :) Last summer, for our vacation, I made my girlies interchangable flower clips & headbands using this same concept; it was great! The hair pieces all held up well and saved space in our suitcases! Have a happy day! Michelle

It would be correct to say that I was grinning from ear to ear when I saw this post. Thank you, thank you a million thank yous! My daughter wears a headband everyday and it is great to get a cute new one. I made a few and posted them on my blog.

This is the awesomest! I don't think that's a word but I declare it is now. Wow, I love this. So simple but so cute and I love the interchangeable idea because we have lots of broken headbands around here. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks SO much for the super easy instructions! I'm a complete newbie with a sewing machine, and I find that some bloggers just assume we all know the basics. I don't...so your blog is just amazing for me! I think even I can pull this one off. Wish me luck!
